MINAS ROS (Robot Operating System) driver¶
Overview¶
The minas_control pacakge contains basic control tools for MINAS-A5B EtherCAT communication driver for indusdtrial robots.
Prerequisite¶
This simulation software has been testd on the following environment:
- Ubuntu Linux 14.04.3 “Trusty” 64bit
- ROS Indigo Igloo
Install Common Components¶
First install a few components this package needs: ROS (robotics middleware)
The following snippet shows a simple way to install ROS Indigo on Ubuntu linux 14.04 Trusty. For completeness, you’re advised to see ROS wiki.
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu trusty main" \
> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list'
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ros/rosdistro/master/ros.key -O - | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y python-rosdep
sudo rosdep init && rosdep update
echo "### For ROS setting" >> ~/.bashrc
echo "source /opt/ros/indigo/setup.bash" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
Install From Deb¶
Obtain ethercat_manager, minas_control and tra1-* deb files (here assumes``ros-indigo-ethercat-manager_1.0.0-0trusty_amd64.deb`` and ros-indigo-minas-control_1.0.0-0trusty_amd64.deb). Plase it under current directory.
sudo apt-get install -y gdebi
sudo gdebi -n ros-indigo-ethercat-manager_1.0.0-0trusty_amd64.deb
sudo gdebi -n ros-indigo-minus-control_1.0.0-0trusty_amd64.deb
sudo gdebi -n ros-indigo-tra1-description_1.5.0-0trusty_amd64.deb
sudo gdebi -n ros-indigo-tra1-bringup_1.0.0-0trusty_amd64.deb
sudo gdebi -n ros-indigo-tra1-moveit-config_1.0.0-0trusty_amd64.deb
Running MINAS-A5B Controller¶
To run MINAS-A5B controller, you can start with following roslaunch command.
roslaunch tra1_bringup tra1_bringup.launch
Running rostopic command will show a list of input and output topics of this controller
$ rostopic list
/diagnostics
/joint_states
/position_trajectory_controller/command
/position_trajectory_controller/follow_joint_trajectory/cancel
/position_trajectory_controller/follow_joint_trajectory/feedback
/position_trajectory_controller/follow_joint_trajectory/goal
/position_trajectory_controller/follow_joint_trajectory/result
/position_trajectory_controller/follow_joint_trajectory/status
/position_trajectory_controller/state
/rosout
/rosout_agg
/tf
rostopic named /joint_states will show the status of each joint including
- the position of the joint (rad or m)
- the velocity of the joint (rad/s or m/s)
- the effort that is applied in the joint (Nm or N)
$ rosmsg show sensor_msgs/JointState
std_msgs/Header header
uint32 seq
time stamp
string frame_id
string[] name
float64[] position
float64[] velocity
float64[] effort
To send commands to the controller, you can use /position_trajectory_controller/follow_joint_trajectory/goal of type control_msgs/JointTrajectoryActionGoal.
$ rosmsg show control_msgs/JointTrajectoryActionGoal
std_msgs/Header header
uint32 seq
time stamp
string frame_id
actionlib_msgs/GoalID goal_id
time stamp

string frame_id
string[] joint_names
trajectory_msgs/JointTrajectoryPoint[] points
float64[] positions
float64[] velocities
float64[] accelerations
float64[] effort
duration time_from_start
The tra1_bringup.launch assumes you have connected EtherCAT device to the eth0 device of your machine. To run controller with custom settings, you can use eth argument.
roslaunch tra1_bringup tra1_bringup.launch eth:=eth4
If you would like to run withtout hardware devices, you can run MINAS-A5B controller with simulation mode
roslaunch tra1_bringup tra1_bringup.launch simulation:=true
To change control parameter, you can use following rosparams. These are relative to /main/joint1 … /main/joint6.
- torque_for_emergency_stop : Set up the torque limit at emergency stop, When setup value is 0, the torque limit for normal operation is applied. Range is 0 - 500 (%). Default value is 100 (%).
- over_load_level : You can set up the over-load level. The overload level becomes 115[%] by setting up this to 0. Use this with 0 setup in normal operation. Set up other value only when you need to lower the over-load level. Range is 0 - 500 (%). Default value is 50 (%).
- over_speed_level : If the motor speed exceeds this setup value, Err26.0 Over-speed protection occurs. The over-speed level becomes 1.2 times of the motor max. speed by setting up this to 0. Range is 0 - 2000 (r/min). Default value is 120 (r/min).
- motor_working_range : You can set up the movable range of the motor against the position command input range. When the motor movement exceeds the setup value, software limit protection of Err34.0 will be triggered. Range is 0 - 1.0 (revolution). Default value is 0.0 (revolution).
For more detail, see 4-50 of the manual (https://industrial.panasonic.com/content/data/MT/PDF/manual/en/acs/minas-a5-2_manu_e.pdf)
- max_motor_speed : Set the maximum velocity of motor. The maximum value is limited by the 3910h(Maximum over-speed level) in internal processing.. It is tq and cst and restricts speed with the preset value of this object. Range is 0 - 4294967295 (rad/min). Default value is 120 (rad/min) (6080h / 00h)
- max_torque : Set the maximum torque of the motor. The maximum value is limited by the maximum torque which is calculated from 3904h(Mass of motor’s movable section/ Motor inertia) and 3905h(Rated motor thrust / Rated motor torque). The maximum torque of the motor varies with the motor used. Range is 0 - 65535 (0.1%). Default value is 500 (50%). (6072h / 00h)
For more detail, see p.151 of the manual (https://industrial.panasonic.com/content/data/MT/PDF/refer/en/acs/SX-DSV02830_R1_00E.pdf)
These parameters are overwrited at tra1_bringup.launch. If you wan to change these parameters, rewriete launch files.
To show contents of current tra1_bringup.launch file. You can use roscat tra1_bringup tra1_bringup.launch command.
<launch>
<!-- GDB functionality -->
<arg name="debug" default="false" />
<arg name="simulation" default="false" />
<arg name="eth" default="eth0" />
<!-- Load robot description -->
<param name="robot_description"
command="$(find xacro)/xacro.py '$(find tra1_description)/urdf/tra1.xacro'" />
<rosparam>
main/joint1/torque_for_emergency_stop : 100 <!-- 100 % -->
main/joint1/over_load_level : 100 <!-- 100 % -->
main/joint1/over_speed_level : 3000 <!-- rad/min -->

main/joint2/torque_for_emergency_stop : 100 <!-- 100 % -->
main/joint2/over_load_level : 100 <!-- 100 % -->
...
Easiest way should be copy launch file to current directory, change parameters and run that file.
$ roscp tra1_bringup tra1_bringup.launch my_tra1_bringup.launch
$ emacs my_tra1_bringup.launch
$ roslaunch my_tra1_bringup.launch
MINAS-A5B Control Tools¶
Before you start we have to configure SI1 and SI2 input selection, Please change No. 4.01 from default setting 818181h to 010101h and No 4.02 from 28282h to 020202h using PANATERM, see page 13 of the Manual.
First you need to know the network adapter neme for the EtherCAT netwok, ifconfig will give you the list of network adpater of your computer, for example, at a following case, eth1 is your EtherCAT network and we’ll use eth1 here after, if you have different adapter name, please use that name when you run the application.

simple_test¶
Then let’s move to next step. The simple_test is the example program to control motors. ‘-h’ or ‘–help’ option will show the usages of this program.
$ rosrun minas_control simple_test -h
MINAS Simple Test using SOEM (Simple Open EtherCAT Master)
Usage: simple_test [options]
Available options
-i, --interface NIC interface name for EtherCAT network
-p, --position_mode Sample program using Position Profile (pp) mode (Default)
-c, --cycliec_mode Sample program using cyclic synchronous position(csp) mode
-h, --help Print this message and exit
On default settings, simple_test will servo on, rotate about 360 degree and servo off. The simple_test program basically follow the instruction described in the manual, i.e Start up guide in p.3 and Motion of pp control mode in p. 107. Basic flow of the cpp program as follows.
minas_control::MinasInput input = client->readInputs();
int32 current_position = input.position_actual_value;
// set target position
minas_control::MinasOutput output;
output.target_position = (current_position > 0)?
(current_position - 0x100000):(current_position + 0x100000);
output.max_motor_speed = 120; // rad/min
output.target_torque = 500; // 0% (unit 0.1%)
output.max_torque = 500; // 50% (unit 0.1%)
output.controlword = 0x001f; // move to operation enabled +
// new-set-point (bit4) +
// change set immediately (bit5)
output.operation_mode = 0x01; // (pp) position profile mode
// set profile velocity
client->setProfileVelocity(0x20000000);
// pp control model setup (see statusword(6041.h) 3) p.107)
client->writeOutputs(output);
while ( ! (input.statusword & 0x1000) ) {// bit12 (set-point-acknowledge)
input = client->readInputs();
}
output.controlword &= ~0x0010; // clear new-set-point (bit4)
client->writeOutputs(output);
To run simple_test with pp mode, use -p option.
$ rosrun minas_control simple_test -p -i eth1

You can see some erros in the first a few seconds, until the motors servo on, but that’s expected behavior and you can ingreo for now.
If you run simple_test with -c option, it will servo on, rotate about 180 degree back and forth with sin curve and servo off. Basic flow of the cpp program as follows.
client->setInterpolationTimePeriod(4000); // 4 msec
minas_control::MinasInput input = client->readInputs();
int32 current_position = input.position_actual_value;
// set target position

You can see some erros, specially if you do not set connect 6 motors on your EtherCAT network, but still the controlle software is able to run as they use loopback driver for these joints.
To check current realtime capabiliy of ROS control, you can run rostopic echo /diagnostics.

Maintainer Tips¶
Create DEB file¶
Following command will build DEB (binary installer file for Ubuntu with which you can install software by a simple run of gdebi command) files.
Before start please add following line to your /etc/ros/rosdep/sources.list.d/20-default.list file
yaml file:///etc/ros/rosdep/ethercat_manager.yaml
and create ethercat_manager.yaml file that contains
ethercat_manager:
ubuntu:
apt: ros-indigo-ethercat-manager
minas_control:
ubuntu:
apt: ros-indigo-minas-control
tra1_description:
ubuntu:
apt: ros-indigo-tra1-description
tra1_moveit_config:
ubuntu:
apt: ros-indigo-tra1-movei-tconfig
tra1_bringup:
ubuntu:
apt: ros-indigo-tra1-bringup
and run rosdep update. Then create deb fiels as follows.
catkin b ethercat_manager --no-deps --make-args debbuild_ethercat_manager
dpkg -i ros-indigo-ethercat-manager_0.0.1-0trusty_amd64.deb
catkin b minas_control --no-deps --make-args debbuild_minas_control
dpkg -i ros-indigo-minas-control_0.0.1-0trusty_amd64.deb
catkin b tra1_description --no-deps --make-args debbuild_tra1_description
dpkg -i ros-indigo-tra1-description_0.0.1-0trusty_amd64.deb
catkin b tra1_moveit_config --no-deps --make-args debbuild_tra1_moveit_config
dpkg -i ros-indigo-tra1-moveit-config_0.0.1-0trusty_amd64.deb
catkin b tra1_bringup --no-deps --make-args debbuild_tra1_bringup
dpkg -i ros-indigo-tra1-bringup_0.0.1-0trusty_amd64.deb
To install DEB file from command line, please use gdebi. Using apt-get may fail due to missing dependent deb package, and that breaks your local apt database (wich may fixed by sudo apt-get install -f install as reported on the community site)
sudo apt-get install gdebi
gdebi -n ros-indigo-minas-control_0.0.1-0trusty_amd64.deb
Create documents¶
Following command will build pdf manual.
catkin b minas_control --no-deps --make-args docbuild_minas_control
To build the manual you have to install following deb packages
apt-get install python-bloom sphinx-common python-catkin-shpinx pdflatex \
texlive-latex-base texlive-latex-recommended texlive-lang-cjk

If you could not initialize ethercat driver as follows,
$ reset eth1 SOEM (Simple Open EtherCAT Master) Simple test Initializing etherCAT master Could not initialize ethercat driver terminate called after throwing an instance of 'ethercat::EtherCatError' what(): Could not initialize SOEM Aborted (Core dump)
Failed to lock memory. It is recommended to set permission to executables, for example: sudo setcap cap_net_raw,cap_ipc_lock=+ep main: Cannot allocate memory
Please check if your binary have correctly set permissions by
$ getcap /opt/ros/indigo/lib/minas_control/reset /opt/ros/indigo/lib/minas_control/reset = cap_net_raw+epIf you can any
capability, please try$ sudo setcap cap_net_raw+ep /opt/ros/indigo/lib/minas_control/reset
